young dressmaker named Miss Mc
henna by going through a mock marriage ith her in IM:, ami that two
chib'ren are the result. Mrs. hobo,
who wi instruct. ng Miss Mchenua at
the time, was a friend of Fair's, and
makes the following statement:
The marriage took place in 182, in
my house, 109 Hroadwav street. Oak-
Inml. and 1 witnessed the ceremony.
Senator Fair brought a man to the
house with him to perform the cere
mouy, introducing him as Judge Crosby, but 1 d-ibt very much now wheth
er U really i as that gentleman. 'Hie
senator produced a license and I read
It oi-cr. Af.irontly it was all right.

signed it. ihu wanteil to keep the
pnjHNr, but he objected and insisted on putting it in his poeket
and taking it away with him. They
wpre oi ne another. ant l was
pleased, thinking it a real love match.
He thought evp rythhig of her and did up to the lflstZ-nntn hU death. 1 think she wtis the love of his life. She
thought ev ry thing of lorn, too, poor
g;rl. aud it lrcke her heart when she
louna that he hail deceived her. ami
that the marHaffe was only a mock
one. JShe was a good and virtuous girl, and when the senator found she
would not go oil with him except as his bride, he trapped her into an il
legal marriage. He told me so when
the second otiild was born.
"For a time after they were married
the' remained here, but soon left for Virginia Citr. The senator did not
slay with her all the time. He was
back and forth. He was not there
when the first child was born, but the
girl's mother was The mother did
not ascertain, and does not know to
day, who the father of her daugh ter's children really is. Miss Mc
Keana would never tell her. In Virginia City, Miss McKenna went
by the name of Mrs Murrar. She
knew there was some reason for the senator not acknowledging her as his
wife, but she trusted to his judgment, thinking- everything would some day be all right- Things went on in a quiet way and she remained in Virginia City till a year ago this last
spring, when she came down to Kenecia. Shortly after her arrival" the tecond chiiil was born, and I was
with her at the time. The child's
was registered under the
name of Murray. I remonstrated
at this, telling the senator he should have his chüd properly registered. Then l-every deeidedly and coldly told me that his marriage with Mis McKenna was a mek one. and that he would never acknowledge her a his wife, lie did not. hesitate to acknowledge the cUddren wore hi privately, but he did not wish to do so during his life.

The blaze started in the roar of the upper stories, but soon communicated itself to the front of the building and then burst from the roof. In half an hour the roof gave way, and two
minutes later a part of the wall fell, crushing beneath ruins a group of firemen in alleyway. Six were taken
dead, of which the bodies of John Hoy, John llornick and Wallace Richardson were recognized. Among the large number of injured were Ed. Thielen, John Gnu- and CapL Caldwell; and other bodies are supposed to be still in the ruins. The loss will be about $90,000, with heavy insurance. 1:30 a. 111. The total number of dead at this hour is believed to be nine. Three bodies have been identified as mentioned. Thielen, one of the injured, died while being taken to the hospital. There are still five firemen missing and all are supposed to be lying crushed to death under the mass of debris in the fatal alloy where the wall fell. No sounds of agonized life can be heard issuing from the deathdealing mass of brick and mortar, but heroic efforts are being made '03 the fire fighters and police to bring the missing men to the surface dead or alive. The scenes when the bodies of the dead and injured firemen were carried from the burning debris were distressful in the extreme, and were intensified on the arrival of relatives and friends. Many of the spectators who were too anxious to get a close view of the blazing pile, and tho attendant scenes of
death and suffering were injured by
hying embers and bricks. Consider
able confusion remains around the
scene, hut the ponce and firemen are exerting every move to get tho bodies. The exact number w ill not he known
